What is Homeopathy ?
Homeopathy is a method of medical treatment designed to stimulate the body’s own healing processes in order to cure illnesses. It is based upon the discovery that a substance in small doses may alleviate symptoms similar to those it causes at higher doses. The phrase “likes are cured by likes” is often used to describe a basic concept behind homeopathy.
Thus, the two cornerstones of homeopathy are that “likes are cured by likes,” and that the remedies are extremely diluted to eliminate or minimize their toxic effects.
The science of homeopathy was developed by the German physician and chemist, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, in the early 1800’s. Through numerous homeopathic experiments called "provings", he furthered the known theory that “likes are cured by likes.” Dr. Hahnemann then determined that the effects of the remedies he tested on himself were too toxic at the conventional dosage level. He found that when a remedy is properly diluted, healing is achieved without the severe side effects.
In general, homeopathic products are designed to work with the body’s defense mechanisms and facilitate the body’s elimination of toxic substances.

What is Homotoxicology ?
Homotoxicology is the treatment & study of the influence of toxins on the human organism.
In homotoxicology, diseases are considered to be ultimately caused by toxins, whether toxic chemicals, bacterial exotoxins, biological endotoxins, or post-traumatic cellular debris. Furthermore, disease symptoms are said to be the result of the body’s attempt to heal itself and should not necessarily be suppressed.
Homotoxicology was formulated by Hans-Heinrich Reckeweg, M.D. in 1952. He made use of his familiarity with classical homeopathy, which he combined with modern medical science. The resulting synthesis continues to provide a bridge between homeopathy and conventional medicine.

In the late 1920’s, a conventionally-trained German physician, Hans-Heinrich Reckeweg, M.D. (1905-1985), began researching and experimenting with homeopathic remedies. He was initially drawn to homeopathy while in medical school when a homeopath cured his father of serious kidney disease. He completed his medical degree, then went to Berlin to study with masters of homeopathy. Once he began treating patients with homeopathic remedies, Dr. Reckeweg noticed how quickly the patients required another remedy. This concerned him since he was closely following the guidelines of well-experienced homeopaths. In his practice he observed that many human diseases seemed to be caused by exposure to toxins, both of external and internal nature. He termed this principle homotoxicology , i.e., the study of toxins to humans. The presence of such toxins was undeniable in view of the increasingly polluted environment and widespread damaging lifestyle choices.
Dr. Reckeweg expanded homotoxicology into a medical theory with many innovative aspects. He elaborated a 6-phase Table of Homotoxicosis, by which physicians can trace a patient’s medical history and locate the present medical complaint. He described ‘vicariation’ of illnesses (i.e., improvement and deterioration) and codified a Great Defense System of five parts. A key principle of homotoxicology is the definition of diseases: “…expressions of the battle of the organism against toxins, in its attempt to counteract and expel them.” His treatise on Homotoxicology was published in 1955.
Dr. Reckeweg obtained better results with combinations of homeopathic remedies than with single remedies and took to developing formulas for his own patients. Consequently other medical colleagues began requesting his combination formulas. The number of requests escalated so rapidly that in 1936, Dr. Reckeweg founded a company to produce his medicines. He called the company Heel (an acronym of four Latin words: herba est ex luce or ‘Plants come from light.’ 2) Between 1936 and 1979, he developed over one thousand homeopathic combinations and Heel grew to become the world’s leading producer and marketer of homeopathic combination products, with product distribution throughout the world.

Available Products
Homotoxicology is the basis for the Heel Inc products. It occupies the mid-point between classical homeopathy and conventional western medicine. It makes use of conventional disease diagnoses and dosage forms and provides complex formulas composed of homeopathically diluted remedies.
Homotoxins (substances toxic to humans) include all substances that can cause illness in humans. Their appearance results in regulation disorders in the body. When confronted with homotoxins, the body's first line of defense is excretion. Many Heel preparations promote the basic principle of toxin elimination. The excretion may focus on increased sneezing or runny nose, or more frequent urination or heavier perspiration. By detoxifying the body, health has a much better chance of taking charge.
The preparations of Heel consist mainly of combinations of low homeopathic potencies (dilutions). Heel products are generally indicated to be taken several times a day and are not usually subject to neutralization when taken with other medications.

We carry following Heel products in oral and injectable form:
Zeel - arthritic pain, stiffness, inflammation
Traumeel - muscular pain, arthritic pain, sports injuries, inflammation
Engystol - for reducing homotoxin level, regulating enzyme functions, stimulate defensive & Lymphatic systems in neuralgic and other disorders including influenza, colds sore, and feverish conditions.
Histamin - for symptoms of allergies including nasal congestion, inflammation and itchy rashes.
Detox-Kit - This kit combines three homeopathic formulas to relieve symptoms of illness caused by unhealthy lifestyle (unbalanced diet, substance abuse, etc) and/or exposure to environmental toxins (allergens, pesticide, etc.) The Detox-Kit works by stimulating the body’s natural processes of elimination to cleanse itself of these poisons, which can build up over time and negatively affect the immune system.
Safe and effective for:
Eliminating Toxins
Stimulating cleansing process
Stimulating the nonspecific immune system
Supporting the organs of excretion
